Default Godard \'Texas Holdem\'

Hi - need some help - recently bought a new godard painting 'Texas Holdem' - see below - I am having a hard time figuring out one or two things and what thier meaning is (all of the images are suposed to be hold'em slang)

http://www.artifactsgallery.com/art....W&ID=17333

Here are (besides the obvious ones) some examples and the ones I can not figure out:

One's I get:
Suited Spade flush draw
Big Stakes
Aces in the Hole
Crying Call
Busted

One's I have no clue on:
The Blue Hat = ?
The little ant = ?
The Heart with sunglasses on = ?
The bleeding Spade = ?
The Black Cat = ?

Any help appreciated - and if you are not familiar with Michael Goddard you should really check out the rest of his work - I own several and they are great 'fun' pieces of art - AF

I disagree.

Is the heart "drawing" or is it "blind"? Or both?

Bleeding spade = busted flush?

Black cat = bad luck

Hat = "cap it"

Clueless on the ant though...

What pisses me off is that the picture is so small. If they expect to sell prints online for that much I want a large detailed picture to see it. Then again I would never buy this unless it was a poster, and cost less than 10 bucks.

most sites selling high dollar prints or photos post them at very low resolution. it prevents people from copying the image and reproducing it for a fraction of the cost. and btw it doesnt look very small to me.

Uh - you don't know what Black Cat could be?

I don't like his painting style.
